Lucas Belt. PARENTS of a 13-year-old boy claim he was given a detention after wearing his hair in a bobble. Lucas Belt, who attends Trinity Academy Bradford, Queensbury, tied the front of his hair up as pictured above. However, he was told to take it out, but refused and was given a detention, his parents claim. His mum, Krystle, 35, said: “Since his hair has become long on the fringe, he just ties it up in a bobble, we would get it cut normally but since we are in a pandemic and barbers are not open what can we do?” But, she said exception was taken to the hairstyle, which she said was described as inappropriate, and her son was forced to take it out.
THE mother of a pupil at a Queensbury high school has spoken out after her daughter was ‘put in isolation’ for not adhering to a new school policy banning the wearing of a jewellery. Charlotte Robertshaw, of Little Horton, claimed her daughter Eloise, 15, was isolated from other students all day and initially received detention from the school, Trinity Academy Bradford, for not removing two ear studs. While Mrs Robertshaw understands the school policy, she and Eloise’s grandfather, Warwick Robertshaw, are upset with the school as the family have been unable to remove Eloise’s ear studs and the tattoo parlour where they were pierced is shut because of lockdown.
